Chapter 515: Is this a stone or a tofu?(2/3)

"There's something wrong with this bluestone!"

A shout broke out from the crowd.

Everyone could see that there was something wrong with the bluestone strips used on the river channel.

The crowd exploded with a roar.

However, a problem with bluestone has just been discovered here.

There was also a burst of exclamations and shock from the other side of the dam.

"All the bluestones inside the dam are broken!"

"It's all broken!"

It was originally extremely strong, but the bluestones that were the main body of the dam were all broken into pieces.

Just the exclamation at the beginning of the first grade of junior high school made Zhu Yunxi's face turn pale.

Wang Xinling was already leading the way: "Give way! Everyone, give way!"

He opened the way in front of him, and Zhu Yunxi walked behind.

After a while, the two men led a large group of people to the dam that had been opened.

"It's so shocking!"

Standing on the edge of the top of the dam, Wang Xinling opened his mouth and let out a sigh, his face full of shock, and his eyes widened.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes also flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

Within the scope of the entire dam being torn apart, the bluestone strips within the dam that were supposed to fit together perfectly were actually shattered one by one.

Crush!

Instead of breaking or breaking.

It is almost impossible to find a piece of bluestone larger than a human head.

"This is impossible!"

"How could this happen? What on earth is going on?"

Zhou Guangli, who was originally kneeling under the dam, climbed up to the dam at some point and lay on the edge of the dam. He looked at the broken bluestone strips below and kept chanting.

When the river governor's office was building the dam, it even used a group of experienced riverwalkers on both sides of the bank who were the most knowledgeable about water and were known as water monkeys.

Dive underwater to fix these bluestone strips.

And now, this scene before my eyes.

Not only Zhu Yunxi was shocked, but also Wang Xinling and Zhou Guangli.

Everyone, everyone who saw this scene in front of them, showed incredible expressions.

"check!"

“Look at the existing unused bluestone strips on the river!”

Zhu Yunxi stood on the dam, looked back at the crowd above and below the dam, and said something cold.

In fact, there is no need for him to give orders at this time.

The news has spread to the outermost areas, and people have long been looking for the bluestone strips piled everywhere.

A sledgehammer was swung.

One by one, the hammer heads landed on the bluestone strips.

Countless muffled sounds were heard under the river embankment at the same time.

"Broken!"

"It's all broken!"

"If you put it on the soft mud, it will break into pieces!"

Everyone knew clearly what the problem was in this river accident.

This is not a solid strip of bluestone, this is clearly a block of tofu!

"Uncle! You died unjustly!"

"Third son, my grandson took us to find out the reason."

"Woooooooo..."

After being shocked, bursts of crying came from the crowd.

Upstream, the Shaanzhou Prefecture check dam and water reduction dam were destroyed, and the water washed down the river. When it reached Mengjin County, the check dam had no effect and the water continued to flow down.

Many people died here.

Countless people were swept into the flood because they did not escape in time on the dam or did not run fast enough on the embankment.

For a time, the riverbank was filled with cries.

Zhu Yunxi's face was ashen.

The problem is obvious.

There was something wrong with the bluestone used to build the dam. It was supposed to be extremely strong, but it shattered for unknown reasons. This caused the dam to look unchanged from the outside, but everything inside was broken.

Only when the water from the upper reaches comes down will the entire line collapse within a few seconds of resistance.

However, how could the dam in Shaanzhou Prefecture upstream be destroyed without being hit by a flood?

But now the situation can be considered open.

Now we only need to trace the origin of these bluestones, from the source all the way back to the entire process of being transported to the river, to find out which party has the problem, and to find out why these bluestones have become so fragile.

"Keep checking!"

Zhu Yunxi said coldly.

Tian Mai's eyes were cold, and there was a strong murderous intent in the edge.

As a secret guard, he had made many assumptions about the accident that happened on the river.

Either the construction method was wrong, or someone deliberately damaged the embankment.

Lots of possibilities.

The only thing he didn't expect was that he could actually make a fuss about this bluestone.

It is obvious that the people who do these things know the consequences of doing so.

The dam was washed away by the flood, the river project was delayed, and even had to be started from scratch, which would cause immeasurable consequences in the court.

Those who did all this must know it.

This crime.

The sin is unpardonable!

For the first time, Tian Mai took the initiative and spontaneously had murderous intentions.

This is disregarding the fate and future of the entire country. This is going against the entire world.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Wang Xinling stood on the dam, looking at the chaotic crowd below the dam, looking at the angry river workers who knew the truth about the accident, and asked in a low voice.

Zhu Yunxi's temperament became increasingly calm. After finally knowing the reason, the anger in his heart was difficult to calm down.

"Zhou Guangli was taken into custody. Anyone involved in the inspection of the bluestone strips transported from the source to the river embankment will be placed on file and awaiting trial."

"Send someone to find Gao Yang to stop them and ask them to speed up their journey to Mengjin County."

"Issue an order from Taisun to ask Yu Ma to mobilize troops to come to Henan Prefecture."

Zhu Yunxi suppressed the anger in his heart and kept giving instructions one after another.

The bluestones in Henan Prefecture are all produced in Yanshi County.

The source of the chaos cannot be separated from Henan Prefecture.

As for the rumor that spread throughout Henan Province, Henan Prefecture was the most ferocious.

He looked up at the high river bank and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhou Guangli stopped making any sound at this time.

When he saw the shattered bluestones with his own eyes, he knew that he was completely hopeless.

He resented those who caused all this, but at the same time he resented himself. He should have opened an extra pair of eyes and been able to more carefully identify the materials needed on these rivers.

It's just that it's too late now.

The imperial court spent countless money and food to build the dams and water reduction dams that were about to be built, but now they have been wiped out by the flood.

When the familiar official restrained Zhou Guangli with a stern face, he remained silent.

When he was escorted past Zhu Yunxi.
